  • Hilarie and I are making progress on the new barn project: getting equipment moved around, putting up cattle feeder panels, and splitting a load of firewood we cut out of the winter pasture. Then it's time for afternoon chores with the animals and grilled chicken wings for dinner.

    I don’t know why, but I could smell everything in that video. The farm in summer, the splitting of wood, the grease that’s about on machines, the heat in the grass, and the cooking of chicken on the grill.. you unlocked a lot of childhood memories. These are always a pleasure to watch. As always, thank you Pete.

      I sharpen my drills about the same way and I'm a metalworker. You need that "swing" for a nice cutting edge. These days, metalworkers don't do that anymore as the drills are never perfectly symmetrical and CNC-machines don't adjust while drilling as a conventional metalworker would. God I miss my good old Celtic and Senna lathes....

    We love it when ol' "what's her name" graces us with her presence. Poor Hilarie, getting all of this attention. LOL The new feeding station in the barn addition is lookin' good! A gate is a good thing there at the end. Mmmm... love me some yard bird wangs. I like that recipe, looks good. Those cattle always "give thanks" as you send 'em out onto new grass. We could learn a lot from the animals.

      I think the only person I have ever met that I never forgot her name is the one I married. I was nearly knocked out once by a wishing board and the first thought that I could clearly identify was her. I wouldn't even dare to pretend that I couldn't remember her name because my last view would be her knocking me into the next century.

    I've worked at several companies that had dust collecting drill doctors. Because they couldn't get them to work. Well at the first one I sat down with the thing and figured it out. If you know how, they actually work VERY WELL. The other two places couldn't believe their eyes when I started sharpening bits. So I taught everyone how to use it. The new addition sure is nice. I'm looking forward to seeing it in action!

    1- What food scraps does Hillary give the chickens? And what do they go bonkers for?
    2- Show us how you guys clean the big solar panels from snowfalls, dirt, and dead insects.
    3- Share with us the amazing summer fruits and vegetables you eat, like sweet corn, melons, and giant tomatoes.
    Be sweet to Hillary. No need to call her crazy names. She's the special part of every episode.

    You should think about blocking those space adjoining to the pillars on the cattle panels. They can get their heads stuck. My grandad and me had to take down a panel with a cow stuck in it like that. We just marked out a piece of ply wood the same shape of that area and covered it.

There was no way you could properly sharpen a bit on the thing, even if you just wanted to cut wood. I suggested returning it, but it's been collecting dust in the corner for about 18 years now.
